London Jazz Festival: JazzTen & Baddest Big Band

A "little" and a big band on the same night!
The JazzTen - With a shared passion for playing jazz at its best, JazzTen brings together ten of London’s finest jazz musicians to explore and perform a wide range of both jazz standards and original music arranged specifically for ten-piece jazz orchestra in a format that allows for both the excitement of music arranged for a large jazz ensemble with the freedom and space for the creative improvisation that characterizes the jazz idiom.
Baddest Big Band - Assembled from the best of the close-knit Southwestern Ontario jazz scene, the band performs repertoire from traditional jazz festival sounds to the modern “standards” of the Beatles’ McCartney-Lennon songbook, to the rarely-performed complete Ellington-Strayhorn “Nutcracker Suite” and everything in between. With a core of players who have been gigging and playing together for over 30 years, the Baddest Big Band does it all - a new band with an old soul.
